Description
If the United States could rid the world of terrorism forever, would you give up your rights as an American citizen for a day? A year? Forever? These are the questions put to the test in gripping psychological drama that explores the precarious status of individual liberties post-9/11 through two parallel stories--each containing identical dialogue--taking place on two continents half a world away. Acclaimed director Sidney Lumet ('Dog Day Afternoon') joins forces with Emmy(R)-winning 'Oz' creator Tom Fontana and Oscar(R)-winner Barry Levinson ('Rain Man') to weave together the cautionary tales of two young students--an American female in China and an Arab male in New York--who are detained by authorities without hard evidence of committing any crime and interrogated about their thoughts and beliefs. Glenn Close, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Ellen Barkin and Oliver Platt star.
